This is absolutely peak Guardian; Critical theory opinion pieces that are designed to click bait.

It's a shame as The Guardian was a very good paper several years ago. A lot of people blame Katherine Viner but it was going on for a number of years before she became editor.

I don't know why people pay to read the views of those who should be in a mental asylum.

To be honest, there is still a lot of good stuff in The Guardian if you avoid the woke section. Avoiding Owen Jones is a great place to start, the tantrum-throwing, snivelling toad.

Titania/Andrew has predicted a number of things. :eek: He said he finds it depressing that the satire he writes sometimes actually happens.

Sure we’ll be embedding sick kids in the walls of a big sprawling vagina

Probably the most female architect ever, Zaha Hadid, had a penchant for designing buildings that looked like a vagina. She was lauded for this by the same people who call skyscrapers 'penile' (Thereby ignoring the raison d'etre of a skyscraper, which is to build as tall as possible on a given piece of land).

This is Zaha Hadid's proposal for a stadium that she designed shortly before her passing in 2016.

That is most aesthetically pleasing. It’s not often I say that about a stadium.

The only other ones I can think of that I love are the Rose Bowl and the LA Coliseum.

Honestly I think it looks too much like something from a box of roses, but the artistic part of architecture's subjective so...
